With my love of all things paper, I suppose it was rather inevitable that my little addiction would only progress. First it was scrapbooking, then card-making, then origami and now I've moved onto even bigger projects.

Well, I guess they're smaller projects really.

I started making miniature geisha washi dolls, and I'm hooked!

It all started with a simple little tutorial I purchased about paper dolls, and I was hooked with the first one I made. granted, she was simple and basic, but I soon found i could change up the design and achieve different looks and poses. I could use whatever color paper I wished, add whatever hair-style and accessories i wanted and I even began branching out into adding scenery to my dolls! There were just so many options and avenues to try, it was the perfect craft!

I already have a list a mile long of things I want to try, and I can't wait to try them and post about my successes and the occasional failures. (What is art without a few boo-boos along the way? :D )

I'm very excited to begin sharing my craft and I hope to foster greater interest in the art or paper dolling. ^_^

About Me

I am 24 years old and live with my boyfriend and our three wonderful, furry children, Nossy, Archer, and Sylvi. I spend most of my time crafting projects for either our apartment or my Etsy shop and am an obsessive collector of all things 'crafty' related. I love experimenting with new media, but I think my main love will always be for paper craft.

When I was younger, I would spend hours cutting out snowflakes from construction paper. Today, this has evolved into scrapbooking, origami, papier mache', 3D paper craft, paper cutting, collaging, decoupaging, and really any other way to use paper I can think of or come across.
